I am an Internet freak. Each day I search about 4/5 topics in the net with the help of Google Search Engine.
Then One day suddenly one question came to my mind :"What is the meaning of Google?Where did the name google come from? What does google stand for ?". I again searched in Google and found some information. I have shared those informations in my blog.
The verb to google refers to using the Google search engine to obtain information on the Web. The American Dialect Society chose it as the "most useful word of 2002." It was officially added to the Oxford English Dictionary on June 15, 2006,and to the eleventh edition of the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary in July 2006.The first recorded usage of google used as a verb was on July 8, 1998, by Larry Page himself, who wrote on a mailing list: "Have fun and keep googling!"
Googol is the mathematical term for a 1 followed by 100 zeros. The term was coined by Milton Sirotta, nephew of American mathematician Edward Kasner, and was popularized in the book, “Mathematics and the Imagination” by Kasner and James Newman. Google’s play on the term reflects the company’s mission to organize the immense amount of information available on the web.”
Goooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,oooooooooo,
